Goals for the coming week:


1. Jason will email Zaid to see whether he is interested in the project we are doing for January Convocation.
2. We have two tentative topics for the convocation----Sakai and social networking tools. We will discuss and choose one topic by 10AM tomorrow.
3. By Friday, come up with an outline.
4. Jason will get kindle from Plamen on Thursday. After that, Jason and May can try it and generate some questions.
5. Read research about texting. Texting while driving may cause death. But at the same time, it fosters communication between people. Think about that.
6. May will post Jason's objections about Lodestar.
7. Try Pachyderm. Plamen will send the accounts to us.

I’m going to use Lodestar for a presentation. Jason had a very good point. Lodestar was created for e-learning. When we use it in real classroom, what is shown will not be big and clear enough. We are wondering whether we can do something to solve the problem or we simply can’t use Lodestar for classroom presentation.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
Jason, May and Zaid, I would like to see you more active on the wiki and/or the Test Web2.0 tools by InforMedia Services Facebook page.
We canNOT rely on the 1/2 hour meetings on Wed to cover all our thoughts. Please share your thoughts in these two forums.
I still have not received your outline for the "social networking in education" proposal. Please work on that and post it in the wiki or on the Facebook group page
